MIRACLE OBSTACLE
Ola Onabule © 2006


VERSE 1
He feels that energy,
And It’s the best shot he’s had in a really long while
from the contortions of her racy body
He knows that he’s about to
be the man of his dreams and her dreams too

It’s out of control, the feelings grown,
he wants to pick the cherries to go and lets her know
But he’s got no accessories, so she tells him no Sirree
You can’t get in, without a permit

Obstacle to the miracle, Just a miraculous obstacle

VERSE 2
He’s off into the night
his destination being seven-eleven yeah
Where the storekeeper could chat all night,
‘Bout anything from sport to
whats been on TV and on radio 2

He’s losing control and says ‘Man I’ve got to go’.
Things I’ve got to tend to at home, so here’s your dough
Then he rushes back prayerfully, Hope she’s waiting expectantly
But He can’t get in, he’s blown the permit

Obstacle to the miracle, just a miraculous obstacle

MID 8
Raging and disbelieving, he let his, sure thing fall apart
Aching, parts of him aching, knows for sure, one is his heart

OUTRO
Just about to lay good lovin on the line,
When your kid walks in, and now you’re not doing so fine

Communicating so well, you thought you were in the zone
But your friend stepped in and soon he will be taking her home

You’ve sacrificed for her love you can’t do enough
But her daddy doesnt dig you so she’s calling the whole thing off

He thinks for definite, in her heart he was the king
Then finds no such thing as a sure thing
if it’s not a happening thing
